Illustrations used in this article are from OnePager Pro using data from Microsoft Project but the feature's function, controls, and manual edits apply equally to other OnePager editions that import from data sources like Microsoft Excel, Smartsheet, and Oracle Primavera P6.
  
<center>[[File:P52-22_1-(1)-06052015.png]]</center>
+
The '''Page Setup''' control group on the '''Page Layout''' ribbon tool bar tab provides two (2) controls for:
  
==Main Tab Time Axis Controls==
+
:* Selecting from different '''Page size''' (e.g., letter, legal, A4, etc.) and
 +
:* Inserting '''manual page breaks''' when in '''Page Break View mode'''.
  
1) To control '''time axis''' annotation beyond the simple one level case, go to the Project-View Properties ('''PVP''') form and the '''Main''' tab.
+
The '''Page Setup''' control group on the '''Page Layout''' ribbon tool bar tab looks like this:
  
2) Then, go to the '''Time axis''' section in the upper right.  
+
<center>[[File:P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(1)-09032019.png]]</center>
 +
<!--<center>P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(1)-09032019.png</center>-->
  
<center> [[File:P52-22_1-(2)-06052015.png]]</center>
+
Each of these controls are described in the sub-sections below.
  
 +
==Page Size Setup==
  
:a) '''Font''' Provides access to the standard '''Font properties''' form where the '''font style''', '''font size''', '''font text color''', and the controls for '''Bold''', ''Italic'', and [[Underline]] can be set or changed.
+
===Page Size Selection===
  
:b) '''Location:''' Lets you to select the position of the '''time axis''' which may be set at the '''bottom''', '''top''' or at '''both''' locations in the project view.
+
The '''Page Size''' button is active in all '''View modes'''.  Clicking the '''Page Size''' button accesses the '''Page Size''' dropdown menu where you can change the selection of the '''output page product size'''. The '''Page Size''' dropdown menu looks like this:
  
:c) '''Top Axis Height''' Lets you change the '''height''' of the '''time axis''' configuration at the '''top''' of the project viewview. The set increments are in '''user''' units which are either in '''inches''' or '''centimeters''' depending on the Windows culture settings.
+
<center>[[File:P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(2)-09032019.png]]</center>
 +
<!--<center>P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(2)-09032019.png</center>-->
  
:d) '''Bottom Axis Height''' Lets you change the '''height''' of the '''time axis''' configuration at the '''bottom''' of the project view. The set increments are in '''user''' units which are either in '''inches''' or '''centimeters''' depending on the Windows culture settings.
+
In the list of '''page sizes''', the '''arrow''' at the bottom of the list (as shown above) and an '''arrow''' at the top of the list are not '''clickable'''.  Rather you can scroll up and down the list by using your '''keyboard up and down arrow buttons'''.
  
==Configure Time Axis Button==
+
===Printer Selection===
  
3) The '''Configure time axis''' button provides access to the '''Advanced time-axis features''' form shown below with its four tabsYou can also right click anywhere on the '''time axis''' to see these forms.
+
The list of '''page size''' selections is determined from your printer selection made in the '''Page Layout''' tab of the '''Chart Properties''' form or the '''Template Properties''' form.  The setting in the '''Chart Properties''' form is shown below:
  
4) The '''PVP''' form's '''Main''' tab has the controls shown below:
+
<center>[[File:P70-8_6_1_2_1-(3)-05142020.png]]</center>
 +
<!--<center>P70-8_6_1_2_1-(3)-05142020.png</center>-->
  
<center>[[File:P52-22_1-(3)-06052015.png]]</center>
+
Whenever you change printers and the new printer has a different list of '''page sizes''', OnePager adopts that list of '''page sizes''' and display them in the '''Printer choice:''' dropdown menu. Making a change to the '''page size''' selection can have an impact on how the pages appear in the '''output media'''.  The appearance can be easily checked by clicking the '''Print Preview''' button.  The position of '''page breaks''' can also change if a change is made to the '''Page Size''' selection.  Accordingly, '''Page Size''' selection is applied to the '''document’s size''' and OnePager fits the chart to '''fit best''' within that '''document size'''. '''Page Size''' selections made with the '''Page Size''' dropdown menu are independent of '''snapshot'''.  That is, a selection made in any '''snapshot''' is applied to all '''snapshots'''.
  
5) At the bottom of each '''Advanced time-axis features''' tab shown above, you can use '''Show levels''' dropdown to choose whether you want one, two, or three levels of '''time axis''' annotation. 
+
==Page Breaks==
  
6) Use the '''Separate levels with horizontal lines''' checkbox to put a separation line between levels on the '''time axis'''.
+
OnePager supports both '''Vertical and Horizontal Page Breaks'''.  The '''Page Break''' button on the '''Page Layout''' ribbon tool bar tab accesses the '''Page Break''' control options shown below:
  
7) The middle level is the only level displayed if you choose to have just one level.
+
<center>[[File:P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(4)-09032019.png]]</center>
 +
<!--<center>P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(4)-09032019.png</center>-->
  
==Top Level, Middle Level, and Bottom Level Controls==
+
OnePager has the capability to insert '''page breaks''' automatically depending on a number of factors.  '''Page Breaks''' are displayed in the '''Page Break View mode''' as follows:
  
8) For each '''time axis level''', you can specify the following information:
+
:* '''Automatic page breaks''' are represented by '''dashed gray lines''' and
 +
:* '''Manual page breaks''' are represented by '''solid gray lines'''.   
  
:a) '''Tic units''' The '''time unit''' between each '''tic''' mark (tic units). Examples are Year, Quarter, Month, and Week.
+
The options available under the '''Page Break''' button allow you to:
  
:b) '''Unit skip count''' How many '''time units''' to skip between labels (normally 1).
+
:* '''Insert a vertical page break''',
 +
:* '''Insert a horizontal page break''',
 +
:* '''Remove all inserted page breaks''', and
 +
:* '''Remove all page breaks'''.
  
:c) '''Label format''' How the '''date''' information is displayed ('''label format'''). These '''label formats''' are very similar to those used in Microsoft Project. Examples are '''Feb''', '''F''', '''February''', and '''Feb ‘08'''.
+
Each of these options are discussed in the three (3) sub-sections that immediately follow.
  
:d) '''Use fiscal year''' This checkbox when checked let you use '''fiscal year''' formats. Please use the following links for more information on OnePager processing of '''fiscal year''': [[Using Fiscal Years and Weeks for Version 5.3 (OnePager Pro) | Using Fiscal Years and Weeks-OnePager Pro]] and [[Using Fiscal Years and Weeks for Version 5.3 (OnePager Express) | Using Fiscal Years and Weeks-OnePager Express]].
+
===Insert Vertical Page Breaks===  
  
:e) '''Label assignment''' How the '''labels''' are aligned. The most common choice is to '''center''' the '''labels''' between '''tic''' marks, as is shown above.
+
When the '''Insert vertical page break''' option is selected, OnePager changes the '''cursor''' to a '''plus''', places a '''dark horizontal line''' in the chart that is responsive to the movement of the mouse, and snaps the '''vertical page break''' to the '''nearest row boundary'''.  Upon left-clicking, the '''vertical page break''' is '''inserted''' as shown below:
  
:f) '''Rotate label 90 degrees''' When this checkbox is checked, the '''label''' will  be rotated into a vertical position.
+
<center>[[File:P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(5)-09032019.png]]</center>
 +
<!--<center>P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(5)-09032019.png</center>-->
  
:g) '''Show gridlines''' When this checkbox is checked, OnePager will draw a long vertical gridline from top to bottom of the graph for each '''tic''' unit.
+
After left-clicking, OnePager completes the '''vertical page break insertion''' and the chart looks like this:
  
:h) '''Line weight''' This control lets you specify how thick you want to make gridlines.
+
<center>[[File:P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(6)-09032019.png]]</center>
 +
<!--<center>P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(6)-09032019.png</center>-->
  
:i) '''Put lines between labels''' When this checkbox is checked, OnePager lets you separate each '''time unit''' by a vertical line, as is shown above in the first illustration of a OnePager timeline.
+
When you '''add''' a '''vertical page break manually''', the integer in the '''Height''' window is increased by one (1).  Likewise, when '''add''' a '''horizontal page break manually''', the integer in the '''Width''' window is increased by one (1).  Removing '''manual page breaks''' does not decrease these numbers back to their previous values in all cases.  In these situations, you can manually reset these numbers back to their desired values.  '''Note''' that setting these numbers to '''lower values''' can cause some or all of the '''manual or automatic page breaks''' to be '''deleted''', with '''automatic page breaks''' being '''deleted''' first. If the '''Height''' and '''Width''' window settings in the '''Document Fitting''' group of the '''Page Layout''' tab are either or both set to '''Automatic''', OnePager makes changes to the number of '''pages''' in order to retain the '''aspect ratio''' of the document. An example is provided below, where the '''Height''' and '''Width''' settings are '''Automatic''', the original number of '''pages''' was determined to be four (4) and you inserted a '''vertical page break''' as in the previous example:
  
9) At the bottom of the form are additional choices that apply to all levels.  
+
<center>[[File:P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(7)-09032019.png]]</center>
 +
<!--<center>P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(7)-09032019.png</center>-->
  
:a) '''Separate levels with horizontal lines''' If the '''Separate levels with horizontal lines''' checkbox is checked, OnePager will draw horizontal lines that separate the levels, as shown in the example at the start of this article.  The horizontal lines are thin so as not to overpower the gridlines in the project view.
+
Looking at the above chart in '''Print Preview''' view mode, the '''pages''' are configured as shown below:
  
:b) '''Repeat on all pages'''  When this checkbox is checked, OnePager will place the '''time axis''' on all pages in a multi-page output.
+
<center>[[File:P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(8)-09032019.png]]</center>
 +
<!--<center>P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(8)-09032019.png</center>-->
  
==Advanced Tab Controls==
+
===Insert Horizontal Page Breaks===  
  
10) The “Advanced” tab form below lets you control more properties of time axis labeling:
+
The procedure and conventions applicable to the '''insertion''' of a '''vertical page break''' applies as well to the '''insertion''' of the '''horizontal page break'''.  When '''inserting''' a '''horizontal page break''', the '''cursor''' is changed to a '''plus''' sign, and a '''vertical line''' is moved from left to right, snapping at smallest '''time unit''' on the '''time axis''' as shown below:
  
<center>[[File:P52-22_1-(4)-06052015.png]]</center>
+
<center>[[File:P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(9)-09032019.png]]</center>
 +
<!--<center>P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(9)-09032019.png</center>-->
  
:a) '''Project start and end dates:''' These two windows are used as reference dates for computing the number of weeks (or months) from the beginning or end of the project.
+
After left-clicking, OnePager completes the '''horizontal page break insertion''' and the chart looks like this:
  
:b) '''First month of fiscal year:''' Specifies the month in which the fiscal year begins.
+
<center>[[File:P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(10)-09032019.png]]</center>
 +
<!--<center>P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(10)-09032019.png</center>-->
  
:c) '''Use starting year for FY numbering:''' This check box tells OnePager whether the fiscal year is called by the name of the calendar year in which it starts. Normally this is unchecked, so that the fiscal year is called by the name of the calendar year in which it ends. For more information on how OnePager represents detailed aspects of the fiscal year on the time axis, see the next subsection.
+
When the '''horizontal page break insertion''' action is completed, the resulting chart looks like this in '''Print Preview view mode''':
  
:d) '''First day of week:''' Use this window control to designate when each week starts, when the time unit is “weeks”.
+
<center>[[File:P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(11)-09032019.png]]</center>
 +
<!--<center>P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(11)-09032019.png</center>-->
  
:e) '''First week of the year:''' Use this window control to tell OnePager if the first week of the year “Contains first day of the year” or if the first week of the year “Is the first full week of the year” where you have designated previously the “First day of the week” as described above.
+
===Removing Page Breaks===
  
==The Corner==
+
There are two (2) options available for '''removing page breaks''' from the chart:
  
The '''Corner''' group shown in the '''Main''' tab of the Project-View Properties ('''PVP''') is described in detail at the following links:  [[Labeling the Corner (OnePager Pro)]] and [[Labeling the Corner (OnePager Express)]].
+
:* '''Removing all page breaks''' and
 +
:* '''Removing manually inserted page breaks'''.
  
==Related Links==
+
These options are shown below:

+
The '''Remove all inserted page breaks''' option '''removes''' all '''manually inserted page breaks''' both '''horizontal''' and '''vertical''' if present in the chart.  '''Removing''' all '''manual page breaks''' by this method can still leave some '''automatic page breaks''' depending on the '''document size''' and how the '''automatic page number''' selections are made for the '''Width''' and '''Height''' values. The '''Remove all page breaks''' option '''removes all manual page breaks''' previously '''inserted''' as well as '''all automatically inserted page breaks'''. The '''values''' for the '''Width''' and '''Height''' are reset back to one (1). The '''Chart Editor''' remains in '''Page Break view mode''' after either of these two options are exercised in the chart.

 +
<!--<center>P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(14)-09032019.png</center>-->
 +
 
 +
When the left-click mouse button is released, the the cursor returns to its '''normal shape''' and the '''page break''' is snapped into the closest position consistent with the type of '''page break''' as shown below for a '''horizontal page break''':
 +
 
 +
<center>[[File:P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(15)-09032019.png]]</center>
 +
<!--<center>P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(15)-09032019.png</center>-->
 +
 
 +
'''Page Break View mode''' is the only '''mode''' in which you can interact with '''page breaks''' on the screen.
 +
 
 +
==Changing the Number of Pages for Width and Height==
 +
 
 +
You can also change the number of '''pages''' desired in the '''vertical''' and '''horizontal''' directions by '''manually changing''' the numeric values in the '''Document Fitting''' control group's '''Width''' and/or '''Height''' value widows and illustrated below for the '''Width''' window: 
 +
 
 +
<center>[[File:P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(16)-09032019.png]]</center>
 +
<!--<center>P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(16)-09032019.png</center>-->
 +
 
 +
Accessing either the '''Width''' or the '''Height''' windows displays the '''page number options'''.  Making a selection with your mouse immediately changes the '''page number''' setting and the '''Chart Editor''' is updated to show the '''automatic page breaks''' created as a result of the action. For more information concerning the use of the controls in the '''Document Fitting''' control group of the '''Page Layout''' tab, please see this article:  [[Document Fitting for Version 7.2 | Document Fitting]] 8.6.1.2.2-72
 +
 
 +
The capability to '''insert manual vertical and horizontal page breaks''', in combination with the '''Page Size''' dropdown lists, provides extremely fine control over the '''final output media''' whether that '''output media''' is destine for a printer, is copied to some other application, or rendered as an image.
 +
 
 +
==Copying Pages to the Clipboard==
 +
 
 +
In a '''multi-page''' chart you have options available to '''copy''' the chart or '''portions''' of the chart to the Windows '''clipboard'''. The three (3) options available are:

About Page Setup

Illustrations used in this article are from OnePager Pro using data from Microsoft Project but the feature's function, controls, and manual edits apply equally to other OnePager editions that import from data sources like Microsoft Excel, Smartsheet, and Oracle Primavera P6.

The Page Setup control group on the Page Layout ribbon tool bar tab provides two (2) controls for:

  • Selecting from different Page size (e.g., letter, legal, A4, etc.) and
  • Inserting manual page breaks when in Page Break View mode.

The Page Setup control group on the Page Layout ribbon tool bar tab looks like this:

P70-8 6 1 2 1-70-(1)-09032019.png

Each of these controls are described in the sub-sections below.

Page Size Setup

Page Size Selection

The Page Size button is active in all View modes. Clicking the Page Size button accesses the Page Size dropdown menu where you can change the selection of the output page product size. The Page Size dropdown menu looks like this:

P70-8 6 1 2 1-70-(2)-09032019.png

In the list of page sizes, the arrow at the bottom of the list (as shown above) and an arrow at the top of the list are not clickable. Rather you can scroll up and down the list by using your keyboard up and down arrow buttons.

Printer Selection

The list of page size selections is determined from your printer selection made in the Page Layout tab of the Chart Properties form or the Template Properties form. The setting in the Chart Properties form is shown below:

P70-8 6 1 2 1-(3)-05142020.png

Whenever you change printers and the new printer has a different list of page sizes, OnePager adopts that list of page sizes and display them in the Printer choice: dropdown menu. Making a change to the page size selection can have an impact on how the pages appear in the output media. The appearance can be easily checked by clicking the Print Preview button. The position of page breaks can also change if a change is made to the Page Size selection. Accordingly, Page Size selection is applied to the document’s size and OnePager fits the chart to fit best within that document size. Page Size selections made with the Page Size dropdown menu are independent of snapshot. That is, a selection made in any snapshot is applied to all snapshots.

Page Breaks

OnePager supports both Vertical and Horizontal Page Breaks. The Page Break button on the Page Layout ribbon tool bar tab accesses the Page Break control options shown below:

P70-8 6 1 2 1-70-(4)-09032019.png

OnePager has the capability to insert page breaks automatically depending on a number of factors. Page Breaks are displayed in the Page Break View mode as follows:

  • Automatic page breaks are represented by dashed gray lines and
  • Manual page breaks are represented by solid gray lines.

The options available under the Page Break button allow you to:

  • Insert a vertical page break,
  • Insert a horizontal page break,
  • Remove all inserted page breaks, and
  • Remove all page breaks.

Each of these options are discussed in the three (3) sub-sections that immediately follow.

Insert Vertical Page Breaks

When the Insert vertical page break option is selected, OnePager changes the cursor to a plus, places a dark horizontal line in the chart that is responsive to the movement of the mouse, and snaps the vertical page break to the nearest row boundary. Upon left-clicking, the vertical page break is inserted as shown below:

P70-8 6 1 2 1-70-(5)-09032019.png

After left-clicking, OnePager completes the vertical page break insertion and the chart looks like this:

P70-8 6 1 2 1-70-(6)-09032019.png

When you add a vertical page break manually, the integer in the Height window is increased by one (1). Likewise, when add a horizontal page break manually, the integer in the Width window is increased by one (1). Removing manual page breaks does not decrease these numbers back to their previous values in all cases. In these situations, you can manually reset these numbers back to their desired values. Note that setting these numbers to lower values can cause some or all of the manual or automatic page breaks to be deleted, with automatic page breaks being deleted first. If the Height and Width window settings in the Document Fitting group of the Page Layout tab are either or both set to Automatic, OnePager makes changes to the number of pages in order to retain the aspect ratio of the document. An example is provided below, where the Height and Width settings are Automatic, the original number of pages was determined to be four (4) and you inserted a vertical page break as in the previous example:

P70-8 6 1 2 1-70-(7)-09032019.png

Looking at the above chart in Print Preview view mode, the pages are configured as shown below:

P70-8 6 1 2 1-70-(8)-09032019.png

Insert Horizontal Page Breaks

The procedure and conventions applicable to the insertion of a vertical page break applies as well to the insertion of the horizontal page break. When inserting a horizontal page break, the cursor is changed to a plus sign, and a vertical line is moved from left to right, snapping at smallest time unit on the time axis as shown below:

P70-8 6 1 2 1-70-(9)-09032019.png

After left-clicking, OnePager completes the horizontal page break insertion and the chart looks like this:

P70-8 6 1 2 1-70-(10)-09032019.png

When the horizontal page break insertion action is completed, the resulting chart looks like this in Print Preview view mode:

P70-8 6 1 2 1-70-(11)-09032019.png

Removing Page Breaks

There are two (2) options available for removing page breaks from the chart:

  • Removing all page breaks and
  • Removing manually inserted page breaks.

These options are shown below:

P70-8 6 1 2 1-70-(12)-09032019.png

The Remove all inserted page breaks option removes all manually inserted page breaks both horizontal and vertical if present in the chart. Removing all manual page breaks by this method can still leave some automatic page breaks depending on the document size and how the automatic page number selections are made for the Width and Height values. The Remove all page breaks option removes all manual page breaks previously inserted as well as all automatically inserted page breaks. The values for the Width and Height are reset back to one (1). The Chart Editor remains in Page Break view mode after either of these two options are exercised in the chart.

Moving a Vertical or Horizontal Page Break

You can change in the location of page breaks by using the mouse to drag and drop them. This is done by first moving the mouse over the page break where it changes shape to a double-pointed arrow as shown below:

P70-8 6 1 2 1-70-(13)-09032019.png

With the double-pointed arrow positioned over the page break, hold down the mouse left-click button and move the selected horizontal page break to the left or right or move the selected vertical page break up or down as shown here for the horizontal page break selected in the illustration above:

P70-8 6 1 2 1-70-(14)-09032019.png

When the left-click mouse button is released, the the cursor returns to its normal shape and the page break is snapped into the closest position consistent with the type of page break as shown below for a horizontal page break:

P70-8 6 1 2 1-70-(15)-09032019.png

Page Break View mode is the only mode in which you can interact with page breaks on the screen.

Accessing either the Width or the Height windows displays the page number options. Making a selection with your mouse immediately changes the page number setting and the Chart Editor is updated to show the automatic page breaks created as a result of the action. For more information concerning the use of the controls in the Document Fitting control group of the Page Layout tab, please see this article: Document Fitting 8.6.1.2.2-72

The capability to insert manual vertical and horizontal page breaks, in combination with the Page Size dropdown lists, provides extremely fine control over the final output media whether that output media is destine for a printer, is copied to some other application, or rendered as an image.
